Fwd: If you listen to only one talk of mine this year, let it be this one

The Mises Institute held a special event on secession in late January. Ron Paul, Lew Rockwell, and I, among others, were slated to speak.

Here's where things get interesting.

A Washington Post reporter was in attendance. We all knew the angle: tsk, tsk, Ron Paul! Your son is trying to be respectable, and here you are with awful people saying forbidden things about secession.

So I pretty much directed my own speech entirely at this reporter. I think my remarks take on a whole new dimension when you realize that the hatchet man is sitting right there, forced to listen to me for half an hour.

I have a feeling you'll enjoy this. And if you do, please share it!

Great Opportunity for Students

Be a summer fellow at the Mises Institute! If you're a graduate student doing work in the Austrian tradition, this is a wonderful opportunity to be mentored by great economists, to have access to an outstanding library, and to get helpful feedback on your work from your peers. When I was a resident scholar at the Mises Institute (2006-2010), I looked forward every year to the new batch of summer fellows. It's a fantastic experience. Click here to find out more.
